Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 23, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 18,229 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 15 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (50 of 72). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,804 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,990 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2015

On Burleigh Heights Dr between Sumner Heights Dr and Burbank Dr, 207 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2015 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
